Varcoe: Ottawa's new resources minister promises clean slate, but oilpatch looks for 'concrete actions' on new projects

Tim Hodgson sent a clear signal Friday to a Calgary business audience that he wants to reset the often-testy interaction between Ottawa and the country’s largest export industry.

He voiced support for the Pathways Alliance's carbon capture project, which aims to help move the oilsands toward net-zero emissions.

The previous Trudeau government did get the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project finished, with federal government money required to buy and build it.

A major signal from Ottawa would be to strike a quick deal with the Alberta government and oilsands operators on a $16.5-billion carbon capture network proposed by the Pathways Alliance group.

The three sides have been mired in a stalemate over their split of the operating and capital costs, with the producers saying government subsidies haven’t gone far enough.
